Welcome to the 2022 TEDxAustinCollege conference! This year’s theme is Amplify as we take thoughts from silent ideas to powerful discussions to be heard by all. This conference will empower us to speak up for ourselves and for others - we will all be amplified together so that our voices cannot be ignored.
TEDxAustinCollege is a collaboration among students, faculty, staff, and alumni — each of whom believes in the life-changing power of logic, creativity, and critical reflection. Through this independently organized and student led event, Austin College shares innovative ideas from a local source to a broad audience on a global platform. We are pleased that this partnership allows a few examples of the big ideas passing through our campus to be shared with the world.
